Make your wishlist of Cloud products/services in OVH SYDNEY and SINGAPORE datacenters!

As a global Cloud provider (IaaS), OVH, had a successful start in the Asia-Pacific region by bringing affordable VPS and Dedicated Servers in both Sydney and Singapore Datacenters.

We are now looking at extending our product and service offering in these 2 locations and your opinion matters!

What would you like to see next in OVH Sydney and/or Singapore Datacenter?

Which cloud product(s), service(s) or feature(s) would you require at these locations?

From hardware specifications to specific features or even use cases, please share it with our APAC team (here or PM if preferred).
Help us to build the products and features fitted to your needs at these locations!

Please make sure to mention either Sydney and/or Singapore Datacenter in your wishlist.

Hello @FlamesRunner,
Thank you for the first feedback, the 2 companies you mentionned operate datacenters in Europe only. Could you precise the type of cloud servers/instances and the datacenter(s) locations (Sydney or Singapore) you are after?

Hi @levnode, our Dedicated Servers pricing is already very competitive especially on the Australia and Singapore markets :-) Are you after a specific machine and location? Could you precise further? Thank you

Location doesn’t matter for me. In your home country, online’s price is more competitive though your network is better.

It should ask project type, and other relevant questions about the service.

Then it should create something like this:

or

and handle the networking between the machines and install core templates on selected servers in the diagram.

Then it should display the hourly and/or monthly price for the entire infrastructure.

This would be a true IaaS solution. You could start this off by building the most common types of ready made infras and automate them untill you eventually have tens of multiple types that can be deployed instantly.

If I could setup something like this automatically for under 500€/m, It would be nice.

You can manually limit your VPS upload to a lower speed if you want, so the included bandwidth lasts longer. Did you seriously mean to ask that OVH limits you to 10 Mbit from the get go, just so that it's "constant"? Sounds ridiculous.

I mean, public cloud isn't offered in every location plus there isn't really a middle ground between your production and sandbox plans in terms of pricing.

3 TB = 3 days. Then 27 days at 10. I'd like VPSes with constant bw, not "10 GBps for an hour then 1 Kbps for the rest of the year".

You mean you want 10 cent per TB transit in APAC? No I don't think that's happening anytime soon. There's a 3TB allocation and then instead of making it a hard limit and suspending your server, the port is left open at a slower speed. It sounds like they reset it at the end of the month though. That's unlike Hetzner, where the reduction to 10 mbit is permanent unless you agree to pay 1 euro/TB for overage in future occurrences.

Yeah, I know, but it'd be nice not having to do bw limitation at the OS level when the provider already does it upstream (but in two unbalanced steps rather than one)

@willie You got me wrong, it's the other way - price has nothing to do with it. And in the example I mentionned, their policy is "Advertised: 1 TB at 100 Mbps (then implied: 2 TB at 10 Mbps)". That's 3 TB of monthly allowance, but they only advertise the first 1 TB at hi-speed which lasts roughly a day.

Then don't burn it in a day. It's fully under your control. Stop being silly.

And honestly speaking, I don't think most customers would support you in a desire for a 10 Mbit VPS. The most frequent wishlist item for VPS-SSD that I hear, is to have a faster (gigabit!) link, not a slower one.

Oh ok, that seems fine too. I thought you meant 3 days at 100mbps then the rest at 10mbps but it works out the same way. 1TB is a lot of traffic for a small vps and it's hard to use that much by accident. Getting to send out 1TB at a decent speed like 100mbps is pretty good, and then you have 10mbps for the rest of the month if you manage to use up the 1tb, so about 4tb total. If you got it at a constant rate it would be about 13mbps.

Are you really saying you'd rather have 13mbps all month, than 100mbps for the first 1tb then 10mbps for the rest? Sounds to me like you have an unusual or else simply bandwidth hungry use case. At the end of the day if you want to burn a lot of bw in APAC, it is going to cost you.

@rm_ We are indeed currently out of stock in Singapore and with a limited stock in our Sydney Datacenter. We will inform once we get stock again in Singapore.
For those who already have one, the VPS SSD APAC model 1 , 2 and 3 can be upgraded to an upper model.

@eLohkCalb and @dgprasetya Well noted for vRack connect and Public cloud. No BGP configuration available though. (However, please contact me in PM if we are talking about very large block of IPs). May I also ask you why do you need BGP?
